Orthodontist near Carrollton.
For north Carrollton, Highway 121 runs straight up to our Colony office. It is usually quicker than heading into Dallas.
North up 121.
Our The Colony office is the closest of our three to Carrollton, and 121 is the road that gets you there. From the Hebron and Josey side it is a short run.
Families further south sometimes weigh us against practices toward Dallas. The honest answer is that the drive north is often faster, because you are going against the commute rather than into it.
To be clear: we do not have an office in Carrollton. Our Colony office on 121 is the nearest one to Carrollton.
The traffic argument.
It sounds like a small thing until you are doing it every six weeks for two years.
- Direction of travel. Heading north on 121 in the afternoon usually runs clear, while going south into Dallas does not.
- Appointment length. Most adjustment visits are short. A predictable twenty minute drive to a fifteen minute appointment is manageable. An unpredictable forty minute one is not.
- Two children, one trip. Worth asking about when you book, because it changes the maths considerably.

Insurance and payment
Most major PPO plans are in network and we file either way. Interest free in-house plans start around five hundred down, spread over twelve to twenty four months.
